Honda’s CEO assures Activa's adoption of the electric make-over.

Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India Pvt. Ltd

. has revealed that the firm will revolutionize India's most benevolent scooter- Activa, by announcing the launch of the product's electric counterpart. 


MD and CEO of the company, Atsushi Ogata, said that the all-new EV, Activa H-smart is most likely to be introduced in 2023-24. Ogata stated, "We are locally developing our electric two-wheelers in close coordination with Honda’s teams in Japan, and we aim to be ready with the first scooter around the same time next year – definitely within FY 2023-’24”


He further added that the company's first debut in the EV industry is based on Activa's "best-selling" element, as Honda looks forward to rising on people's trust.  


As per the CEO, the new EV will come with a fixed battery setup and will be able to provide a maximum speed of 50kmph. Following this EV launch, the company is planning to launch another electric scooter, the CEO continued. The following plan is reported to be built on a dedicated EV platform that will give better speed and range facilities. This vehicle in shadow is also expected to have battery-swapping technology. 


Ogata said that Honda would be providing products designed specifically for the Indian market despite the company's existing products from China. He said, “For the last few years, it was not an urgent matter for the company to invest in an EV program from a business point of view, but with market expectations growing, we are going to get into the EV segment next year.” The company's majority of the investment will be dedicated to improving infrastructure to manufacture more ICE and Electric vehicles both under a safe roof.


In the last six months, the company majorly focused on the localization of the E- motor and batteries. Moreover, Honda has claimed that before the release of the second EV, the company will establish an electric motor manufacturing unit along with 6,000 battery swapping stations.
